TAPI for Asterisk™ (10-licence Pack)

The TAPI Driver for Asterisk™ supports dialing, hanging up and also informs your TAPI application about incoming and outgoing calls including caller and called ID. All this for multiple lines of one or several Asterisk™ SoftPBX systems. Furthermore, enables you to initiate calls directly from within Microsoft Outlook™ or any other TAPI application.

Installation and Configuration​:

  • You can install the TAPI Driver on a Windows Server as well as on a Terminal Server or on every client computer. 

Hint: The CTI Client application already includes a TAPI-Connector for Asterisk™.  If you use the CTI Client application, there is no need to install an extra TAPI driver for Asterisk™.

Supported Operating Systems:

  • Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 20xx. TAPI driver was also tested with the x64 Windows versions.

Configuration Examples​:

The TAPI Driver for Asterisk™ can be installed on one or more desktop PCs. The driver is connected directly to the “manager interface” of the Asterisk™ SoftPBX via IP network.

 

 

 

In this configuration a TAPI Server is used to share a centrally installed TAPI driver in a local network. The TAPI Driver for Asterisk™ is installed on a Windows Server. The Windows Server also acts as a TAPI Server. To use the TAPI on a client PC, the Remote TAPI Provider of the Server must be installed.
